On Passion and Purpose

For some time now I've been listening to Putumayo Brazilian Cafe album. THere is this one particular track that I like. It's a samba moderately fast paced, duet of a man and a woman. The feel is fun, playful, laidback and carefree. They sing as if they are certain that they exist on this world to sing. So passionate and so carefree. Then I was reminded about how when we do the things we are passionate about, such as appreciating good music or going to the mountains to marvel at nature, or doing even the most mundane things such as putting things in order (though I think it's far from mundane when God put the universe in order). Things we do that we never feel time passes and when we stop we feel as if time is not enough--whatever it might be--we are "being" how God create us to be. In these moments of joy, passion and the love of the created, we get a glimpse of His nature, that is ever making and ever good.  And we discover that this innate desire to create unites us with our Creator, following His footsteps. We realize, this is why we worship Him and why He deserves it. Our God makes all things beautiful. And He created me.
